This painting is in the Amsterdam Hash-Marihuana and Hemp museum. It uses hemp seed oil paints to depict an old Dutch Master, in honor of their use of cannabis in their canvas, paints and perhaps inspiration.

This sketch of cannabis botanical characteristics was drawn for the book Hemp for Health.
